Happy to have a big V8 engine model donated to me...

As far as I know, all models on the 3D Warehouse are licensed under creative commons (might be worth to look that up to be sure), so free to use in free to download mods. There are a few more V8 engines on there, so have a look

After a small impact:

After a bigger one:

Couldn't really get them to 'flap' as such with the G-forces, but it certainly oscillates properly. Same with the exhaust, it oscillates with more throttle too

Edit*

After a very big side impact the doors don't stay very shut

Bumpers are easy to knock out of shape though. Just need to get steam pouring out the bonnet

You can now open the bonnet in the showroom with NUM4 to get a good look

Apparently with the next update we will be able to use NUM 4,5 and 6 to play separate 'extra' animations in the showroom. I'll probably have the boot (tailgate) available to open too, there's not much else really. Not even a glovebox

This is awesome. Thanks for your hard work! Will the headlights shatter in a crash?

I'm sure they'll crack much like the windows in AC, though that requires knowledge of textures which I haven't got yet, but will get there eventually

Thought I should mention this beast (not made by me, but though some might be interested):

Maybe not the most polished visually, this thing has to be driven to be believed - its an absolute monster. Its meant for the drag strip, and will beat just about anything, but as I just found out its a total hoot on circuits (at Spa here). Brakes aren't the best, and it has a tendency to fall over if you corner too fast (tyres have mega grip, obviously), but its a crazy challenge to keep on track.

Anyway, I though its might help fill the gap until the Anglia is ready, download is here If anyone is interested: https://www.dropbox.com/s/z53mj9ebdep2y8s/ford_popular_drag.rar?dl=0

Check out Flandre's other creations: http://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/i...andres-drag-pack-ford-popular-released.17120/

Also did a few details, number plates (without actualy numbers yet), handles etc.

Looking good!
I'm aware there are several sets of rear lights, but these seem to be angled a bit strangly. Is that intentional?

Yep, definitely intentional, although they might not be quite the right size I'll work on it

Exterior mesh is now just about finished, just a few minor things left. Really need to work on texturing now, its all looking a bit flat. Can't wait to learn how to do AO, i think that'll improve things a lot. Done various hinges, bumper mounts and other details.

Also, just for fun: Can anyone guess how fast (or slow) this Anglia will complete a lap of Spa in? Whoever's guess is the closest wins a special prize

Spent some time lapping yesterday, mostly taking in the scenery as it was more riveting than the actual driving

Joseph Maxx · Aug 26, 2016

I say 15 mins

NightEye87 · Aug 26, 2016

I reckon it could do it in 4:45-ish

The details really make a huge difference. Love it and cannot wait to see it AO'ed

I recon most of the track can be driving flat out by it, requiring not much braking for corners. Then again all those hills... I'd say 8 minutes flat

How the heck did you get it that high on the Monza banking anyway? I was running the A1 S1 there a bit and it seemed like above the yellow line was a >100km/h territory.

Anyway I'm saying 4:05. Tried a similar era economy car and that one had a 3:52, then dropped to 3rd gear and ran a 4:25 without ever exceeding 100km/h, so I think somehwere in the middle is solid.

I guess you're talking about this pic?

Yeah, It does't like being on the banking; not enough power and not enough grip. With a run up it can be done though, just not for long. And who says it can't do >100km/h? It can. Just

New aerodynamic device, aiding rear traction - much needed with a mighty 30bhp:

I would like to note that public development of all of my (FlandreNien) mods stopped a while back.

I do however look forward to the gary's Anglia. If his Transit is anything to go by, this will drive just as good as it looks in no time.

Has there been any progress on this thing recently? I'm a lover of slow British classics and have one myself (79 Triumph Spitfire), and was wondering if there was any plans of finishing this, or if it's been pushed to the side?

Its been pushed to the side, but that does not mean I have no plans to finish it

Just busy, thats all.
